The cost of love is two close friends!

According to a new Oxford University study, a person who falls in love runs the risk of losing two good friends at least.

The study relied upon the “inner core” philosophy that typically believes that a normal human being has five friends in his/her circle.

“People in romantic relationships, instead of having the typical five friends on average, they only have four in that circle. Bearing in mind that one of those is the new person that has come into your life, it means you have had to give up two others,” Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary anthropology at Oxford, was quoted as saying.
